A substantial Edwardian house in a commanding position with far-reaching westerly views.
Description
Heathercliffe has an interesting history having had celebrity and royal owners and more recently the property was run as a country house hotel.
The current owners have undertaken an exceptional scheme of improvements, resulting in a wonderful family home suitable for all practicalities of daily life.
Occupying a private position with electric gated entrances, the property is approached via a sweeping driveway which leads up to the front of the house, providing plenty of parking and access the shed outbuilding.
The front door opens in to the large entrance hall which is fitted with practical storage cupboards. Adjoining this, the dining hall is a most impressive space with a beautiful bay housing several large windows which provide a great deal of natural light.
Centred around the dining hall are the remaining ground floor rooms. A large sitting room features an ornate fireplace and windows to three sides, providing a beautiful outlook across the grounds and beyond.
The superb open plan breakfast kitchen is handmade by David Lisle, and comprises an excellent range of wall and base units centred around a large central island, with many integrated Miele appliances.
An informal seating area provides a great spot for the family, undoubtedly making this room the hub of the house. Adjoining the kitchen is a utility with fitted units and external access.
A large office, currently used as a 'man cave', is a magnificent room, suitable for a variety of uses. Adjacent to this is a cinema room, and as is the case in the remainder of the property, the attention to detail applied in aspects such as lighting, fittings and furnishings is clear to see.
A boiler room and WC complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor is an excellent principal bedroom suite. The large bedroom has several windows and steps down to a fully fitted dressing room. This provides access to the south-westerly facing balcony and the en suite bathroom, comprising a freestanding bath, separate shower and double basins.
There are four further en suite bedrooms on the first floor, and two more en suite bedrooms on the second floor.
The grounds at Heathercliffe are lovely and extend to about 7 acres. The outlook is very special, with gardens laid mainly to lawn and access to areas of woodland containing a variety of mature trees.
One area of the grounds has been developed to create two golf holes. There is also a very smart outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining in the summer months.
Location
Heathercliffe is a substantial Edwardian house in a commanding position with wonderful, far-reaching westerly views.
Situated on the outskirts of Frodsham, close to the border with Helsby, its semi-rural position provides an excellent balance of beautiful countryside with good access to amenities in the local area.
The nearest shopping centre is the charming market town of Frodsham, with more comprehensive facilities available in Chester (11 miles), Warrington (11 miles) and Liverpool (21 miles).
The Cathedral City of Chester is one of the North West’s leading retail and commercial centres and offers an extensive range of shops and restaurants.
Schooling is well provided for locally with a selection of state and private schools including Helsby High (2.5 miles), The Grange at Hartford, Abbey Gate College at Saighton, The Hammond School and King’s & Queen’s in Chester.
There is a mainline train station at Frodsham and direct rail services to London from Chester (about 2 hours).
The excellent motorway network provides access to Manchester via the M56, which also connects to the M6 and M53. Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon are within 22 miles and 14 miles, respectively.
Some of the leisure opportunities in the area include walks in Delamere Forest, on the Weaver Canal and the Sandstone Trail, golf at Delamere and Frodsham and horse racing at Chester, Aintree and Haydock.
